A creative team I started working with recently has decided to ignore my every comment. They take feedback from anyone else but me, and whenever I push them to make said changes, they just pick fights and make snarky comments. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Are you asking them to use comic sans?

in all seriousness, that’s a very unprofessional response from their end. Have you noticed that others give feedback in a different manner that may get a better response? Such as mixing in positive notes along with reasoning - example, “this is working well because X, but this other part could be improved in X way because X”. Also, avoid vague feedback like “it’s not there yet”. Constructive criticism is a dance of its own, honestly.

Are you in an agency? Because I only take direction from my creative director.

Have you thought of sitting the CD down showing them examples and asking why?

Sounds like they got it out for you for some reason. Have you tried talking it out with one of the team members? Maybe you should take it up with a superior and get an idea of what could be the issue

This team may be feeling resentful towards you because you're pushing them to make changes that they don't agree with. Anyways, that is a very unprofessional way of handling it. Try and talk to a member of the team or to any superior

How do you give feedback to this team? Perhaps they are used to other types of feedback and think your comments are criticisms or personal attacks for some reason

Can you lose your job if you don’t like the animosity from your creative team and speak up about it ? Genuinely worried I might be disrupting the peace by saying something 🥴 the anxiety is terrible! Do I just accept it that they don’t like me or speak up and potentially burn that bridge?

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted.

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Those who want to join FAANG: don’t you think that the upward mobility is limited? Thousands of super ambitious MBB background people with top credentials joined these firms over the last decade.
